    Sorry but I can't answer your question but I send this warning as it has happened to me.

    Be very careful that the bike frame is mounted at/on strong points and that the backing plates are bigger than the normal ones supplied with the frame.

    It is possible for the weight of 2 bikes to pull the standard backing plate through the inner wall/lining of the motor home, it happened to me on a Swifts motor home.
